Activist Dan Choi to Speak at UW

September 30, 2010 — Lt. Dan Choi, a former American infantry officer in the United States
Army who served in combat in the Iraq war from 2006-2007, will speak
Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m. in the University of Wyoming Union
ballroom. The event, part of the Student Activity Council's weekly
programming series, is free and open to the public.

Choi became a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender advocacy rights
activist following his coming out on "The Rachel Maddow Show" in March
2009. He has been publicly challenging America's Don't Ask, Don't Tell
policy, which forbids lesbian, bisexual and gay service members from
serving openly.

Individuals with disabilities needing accommodations to participate
in this event should contact the UW Campus Activities Center at (307)
766-6340 or sac@uwyo.edu.
